After heavy metal ions enter the stomach, they destroy the gastrointestinal mucosa, kill some beneficial bacteria (digestive enzymes), and form chronic diseases such as gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastric perforation, colitis and constipation. Therefore, water pollution is the main cause of gastrointestinal diseases.
2. The relationship between water and lithiasis
Because water contains a lot of carbonate (scale), it increases the burden of human excretion and the incidence of lithiasis.
3. The relationship between water and nephropathy
The human body needs to consume about 5 kilograms of water every day. Because the pollutants in the water exceed the standard, it increases the burden of kidney filtration. Over time, some glomeruli are damaged, leading to chronic kidney diseases such as nephritis and kidney deficiency, and secondly, water that is not fully filtered enters the human circulation.
4. The relationship between water and liver disease
Water with excessive pollutants becomes blood through a series of synthetic processes, and the quality of blood is greatly reduced. One of the functions of the liver is to process and filter blood. The liver consists of several hepatic lobules. In the process of processing and filtration, some hepatic lobules are damaged, leading to liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis and even liver cancer. Secondly, unclean blood flows into the heart and is transported to thousands of blood vessels.
5. The relationship between water and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
Heavy metals in blood combine with oil to form thrombus factors, and with the flow of blood, they form blockages in narrow parts, leading to vascular diseases such as cerebral thrombosis and myocardial infarction.
